[quote=Anonymous]I just went through this.  The first step is to contact your school principal for a meeting.  At the meeting, you need to be the one prepared to discuss your concerns about your daughter's functioning in school.  In other words, this is your meeting and you have to be prepared to bring people on board with your concerns, which you can only do if you can clearly articulate them.  Undoubtedly, your neuropsych has great information for you to use in your preparation.

In my older son's case, this prompted some evaluations done by the school.  There was a second meeting to review those results and made a decision as to a 504 or IEP - the decision was an IEP.  In my younger son's case, this step was skipped because we knew from the first meeting that he needed a 504 and not an IEP and the school accepted our private neuropsych eval (which was a few years old, but still very on point).

In the next meeting, we decided on the accommodations (and in the case of my older son, services were decided as well).  I found it very helpful to go in with the list of everything I wanted for my son.  The school had some on its list that I didn't have and I had some on my list that the school didn't have.  The plan was drafted and signed at that meeting.

I found that everything moves very quickly in the process.  I think we completed my younger son's less than two weeks of the first phone call.  With my second son, everything was done within thirty days of my calling.
